Switzerland, Zurich: Hitachi Energy, in partnership with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), has been awarded a major contract by Rajasthan Part I Power Transmission Limited, a subsidiary of Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. (AESL). The project will establish a 950 km, 6 GW high-voltage direct current link from Bhadla, Rajasthan, to Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, providing power for approximately 60 million households.
This ±800 kV bi-pole, bi-directional HVDC system is a key part of India’s 500 GW renewable energy evacuation plan, ensuring efficient power transfer from Bhadla’s renewable energy zone to industrial hubs while enhancing grid stability and reliability.
“By enabling efficient renewable energy evacuation and connecting it to the national grid, AESL is contributing to India’s decarbonization efforts. We are committed to delivering this project on time with minimal environmental impact,” said Kandarp Patel, CEO of AESL.
“Our HVDC technology is crucial for ensuring a stable and sustainable power system, supporting India’s long-term energy goals,” added Niklas Persson, Managing Director, Business Unit Grid Integration, Hitachi Energy.
This transmission link will play a vital role in India’s transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy grid.
